He has toured with international stars such as k.d. lang, Shakira, Enrique Iglesias, Leehom Wang, J.J. Lin, Anastacia, Mandy Moore, and jazz legends Sérgio Mendes, Airto Moreira and Flora Purim.
Grecco has written music for the television shows Dawson´s Creek, Jack and Bobby, Everwood and Brothers and Sisters, has had a song placed in the feature film Last Vegas (co-written with
Lucy Woodward and Grammy® Award-winning songwriter Itaal Shur), and has recorded with film composers Gustavo Santaolalla, James Newton Howard, and Blake Neely for major motion picture soundtracks including Miami Vice, RV, First

Other notable career highlights include Grecco's performance of his composition "Morena Menina Linda" at
Carnegie Hall with Cape Verdean artist
Mayra Andrade in 2008, and having
Claudia Brant's Manuscrito, an album he co-produced, nominated for 2 Latin Grammy® Awards in 2011 including Best Female Pop Vocal Album.
Essas Coisas Todas, Grecco's debut solo album, was produced by Grecco alongside
Marconi de Morais and Sandro Feliciano, recorded by 15-time Grammy® Award winning engineer Benny Faccone, and mixed by 6-time Grammy® Award-winning engineer Antônio "Moogie" Canázio.
Epic and at the same time intimate, accessible and yet refined, simple and yet complex, auto-biographical and at the same time universal, the album is a meditation on Love, the existential questions in each of us, and the beauty of being human. It's a journey through musical landscapes and styles, from Bossa Nova to Rock, Funk to Xote, Chanson to Pop, counting among its main influences the poetry of Chico Buarque and Jorge Drexler, the melody of Tom Jobim, the delivery of Caetano Veloso, and the subversiveness of Lenine, Tom Zé, and Radiohead.
The album features a 24-piece string orchestra recorded live at
Capitol Studios, guest performances by singers Debi Nova and Lucy Woodward, percussionists Gilmar Gomes, Mauro Refosco, António Carmona and Ze Luis Nascimento, flautist Jorge Continentino, saxophonist Larry Williams, accordion player Rob Curto, and keyboardist Renato Neto.
